Mrs. Mary Hartman has announced
that she has opened new stock Of
boots and shoes, hats and caps, in the

good portion of the trade and we hope
she will get it.
The JOURNAL has received an invi-
tation to a wedding in far-off Oregon,
but the time is short, the distance
great and money scarce, all of which
means that neither in our journalistic
or personal capacity can we be there.
But in theosophic sense we shall be
present to give tone, eclat and rictOchet
to the joyous occasion. THE cake,
which is minus theosophic privileges,
can reach us by mail.
Titus A. Brick came by Pompey
Tuesday and staid long enough to tell
us that the G. c. & G. R. was booming,
and he had suffered the misfortune of
MASKING his nose so badly that the
doctors think he must have his arm am
putated above the knee-cap. Mrs.
Brick returned homo with the un-
fortunate man.
Somebody at Norfolk, Va, writes on
a postal card-''how is the JOURNAL
progressing 2" Do not know who he

A very fine series of entertainments
begins in Meats Opera House this even

ready done for parties here is reported
as "bang-up.'
Every now and then people probably
otherwise skeptical of the value of ad-
vertising testify unconsciously against
their convictions. Last week little
bird flew into these headquarters and
chirped to the local editor intelligence
of private social event of more or
less magnitude. On the wings of the
wind messenger was dispatched to
look into the mysterious happening.
An item was hauled in, but not the
one the JOURNAL was seeking. In
stead came back the following "IAad
another important item, but the parties
do not want the wide publicity that SO
influential paper as the JOURNAL
would give"

The articles of agreement between
Jack Crawford, of this place, and Will
liam Crowley, of Piedmont, have been
signed and a scientific sparring match
will probably come off in Ravenscraft's

17th. Both men are confident of
winning.
''The kind of prohibition party"
said Titus A. Brick the other day,
"that this country needs most is one
embracing a plank which forbids can
didates giving away wooptics that cost
less than five cents each or three for
